arriving 4wks early...... Mr. Levi






Sooo, needless to say, he, Levi William, is here... he was born @ 2:33am Monday night, in 4 1/2 hrs! We arrived at the hospital @ 1am, after starting contractions at home at 10ish. They checked my out when i arrived and saw that i was already 8-9cm!! I was like, "what!??!" hour and half later, little Levi was out and about. We had a scare in the beginning, the cord was wrapped around his head, along with his hand, after a longggggg few minuets, he turned pink and was moving, Praise God he is all good now, weighing in at 6.8lbs and 18.5 inches, born at 36wks. We are all good, and are enjoying our little man, OH and his hair is a blondish sandy brown that is most surly gonna be red, we can feel it coming, hehe... Love to all!

i saw susie's picture of levi, but it didn't do him justice!! i can't believe how little he is!! 18 inches??? and you look gorgeous, momma!! lol still no baby here, and no signs of baby, either! but she'll come, and then our lil' ones can meet for the first time. let me know when you start to feel better! can't wait to chat and hear all about your labor and delivery and placenta and belly button not poking out any more and all of those other things that make bryce squirm. lol! oh, and my last comment i made before i knew that you really thought i'd be upset with you for delivering before me...i totally don't think you did it on purpose! lol. don't be shy to ask me for help, even if it's folding the laundry. levi is beautiful and so are you! hang in there!

Ok - I'm sure we will never meet this side of heaven (nor will I probably meet the Samms either where your "link" is) - but, I am a mommy to two teens and I still remember the day they were born! Congratulations on your new baby boy - I will pray specifically for your family today that the Lord will shower you with His love and that you will feel His presence in a very tangible way today!

Praying God's best for you as you welcome this new addition into your home and hearts!

Hello little Levi and family. Susy was sooooooooooo excited to tell blogland of the "NEWEST" blogger in the land. :)

Mom.... I'm jelous.... I wish my children came that quick. LOLOL I have a 19 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. They are both God's biggest blessings in my life.

Congratulations on the birth of a beautiful little boy. God is such a wonderful gift giver He always knows EXACTLY what to give us. :)

God Bless

Wow, what a fast labor! He sure is cute. Fast labors and birth can be very intense. Many moms have told me they wished they had a longer labor (the moms who have really longs labors wish the opposite)!

I'm looking forward to more pictures as you add them. Congratulations!

Congratulations! He's perfect, and another redhead to boot!

I'm a massive blog stalker, and really just need to make one, but I never think anything is worth reading in my everyday life. I found you through Susie, who I know because my husband was one of Matt's roommates Matt's Junior year at Elim (my husband's senior year) so actually, you probably knew my husband too, Adam Harriff?

Anyways, long explanation of who I am, simply to say, Congratulaions!!!! again. :)
